johnsmith153 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I've been asked to edit somebody's website for them. There is a file containing about 100 lines of random characters that is loaded by an IonCube loader (or something). This file seems to be the one that contains the problem (if I comment out the bit where the file is included then a whole chunk of the site - including the bit I want to edit - is missing.) Can I edit this file, or is it like this due to encryption or something? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/221267-editting-ioncube/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 How exactly do you plan on editing it? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/221267-editting-ioncube/#findComment-1145648 Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsmith153 Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 That is the question I am asking. Can it be editted? If so, how? Maybe the answer is that is can't be editted, and that is fine, I just need to know.

trq Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 If you can understand its contents you can edit it. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/221267-editting-ioncube/#findComment-1147474 Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsmith153 Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 I can't understand the contents. Is there a way of decoding it (so a human can see it)? Or is this the point that it is encrypted for a reason? What reasons would somebody want to encrypt the contents? (protect their work?)

trq Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Or is this the point that it is encrypted for a reason? That is indeed the point. What reasons would somebody want to encrypt the contents? (protect their work?) And that is indeed the reason. And maybe to piss off the person who owns the site (and likely the code unless otherwise stated in the contract when the work was done).
